Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include the ability to:

select and use inspection and monitoring techniques and equipment

take accurate measurements

determine the nature and origins of corrosion discovered in monitoring

identify hazards and risks and apply risk control procedures

recognise early warning signs of equipment/processes needing attention or with potential problems

identify problems and take action

communicate effectively with team, group, supervisors and other personnel

complete forms and documentation.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

causes of corrosion

nature and types of corrosion

areas in which corrosion can occur

inspection and monitoring techniques

appearance of corrosion on carbon and alloy steels

corrosion rate estimations

effects of variables (e.g. temperature, climate/environment and humidity

mitigation methods.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following:

legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)

industry codes of practice and guidelines

environmental regulations and guidelines

Australian and other standards

licence and certification requirements

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence.

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, include one or more of the following:

emergency procedures

work instructions

Hazards

Hazards include one or more of the following:

industrial (machinery, equipment and product)

plant services (steam, condensate and cooling water)

limited head spaces or overhangs

working at heights, in restricted or confined spaces, or in environments subjected to heat, dusts or vapours

remoteness

other hazards that might arise

Routine problems

Problems at this level includes both routine and non-routine problems.

Routine problems are predictable and have known solutions and include one or more of the following:

pitting and scaling

internal and external wall thinning

crack formation

Non-routine problems

Non-routine problems are unexpected problems, or variations of previous problems and must be resolved by applying operational knowledge to develop new solutions, either individually or in collaboration with relevant experts, to:

determine problems needing action

determine possible fault causes
